It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this site, Guild Wars Guru, will be shutting down on July 1st and will remain in Archive Mode. Over the past 11 years, we've become, and continued to remain, the #1 fansite for Guild Wars, and it's all because to you guys. Without such a strong and passionate community, Guru would have never made it this far and so we thank you for that.

And while we will be saying good-bye to our home here, we will continue to host forums for the GW community over at our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Guru. In fact, you are more than welcome to head on over now and begin posting. If you have any threads you'd like to transfer over, now would be the time.

So once again thank you, and especially those that contributed their time and knowledge to make Guru the amazing place it was. We'll see you over at Guild Wars 2 Guru!

I've noticed the only thing you achieve for GWAMM is some words and a statue in the HOM. I was wondering... wouldn't it be fitting to have the "Boss Glow" for your profession (I.E. orange for war, green for ranger, red-ele, etc, etc.) permanently? I think it would be fitting to have the "Power Aura" considering you just did everything in the game.

It has been suggested many times (and at least once in the official feedback pages in the wiki) and I would only agree with it if it was active ONLY in towns and outposts, and ONLY if the title is selected.

I think it could be the least Anet can do for someone who has forsaken a real-life for the sake of GW. But then, I have suspicions that very few GWAMMs worked for all that themselves, though it's becoming more common I'm sure.

Lol what? You hardly have to forsake your real life in the persuit of GWAMM, you can pretty much just play the game and be part way there. Also GWAMM isn't difficult to achieve so ofc it is becoming more common, it is unfair for you to assume that people have somehow cheated to obtain their titles.

As for an aura when you reach GWAMM, I wouldn't like it personally. Displaying the title is enough for me.

How about an aura around the character while in town.. I think that would look sweet.

This will give players the chance to show off their title without using emotes that can irritate other players.

Let people who want that look stick to their chaos gloves, black FoW, and Mo Zing masks. I don't want my screen to look like a disco bar when I'm in town. You don't have to make everything in this game flashy looking.

Whoever says people with GWAMM got no life are just jealous and can't do it themselves. Anyone can easily log thousands of hours and still not have a GWAMM (points to the people in GTOB and other newbie areas who chat all day). That's because time is never an issue if you suck and not motivated enough or just don't want to try or learn.

GWAMM should be displayed proudly - afterall it is an achievement only a fraction of GW population can achieve, and for those who earned it themselves, it gives satisfaction well deserved. This is why GWAMM should have something special associated with it, something that can only be redeemed from the player's HoM.

I don't want to see this on players. If something really really really needed to be added maybe make the players name/title show up in gold rather than blue when you mouseover them in outposts. It's less intrusive and annoying that way.

A. Chaos gloves on a non-caster char is a WOM.
B. FoW Armor is the ugliest armor i have ever seen, esp. for the price.
C. WTH does a mo zing mask have to do with any of that...
D. Apparently i used the wrong terms in search; didnt find any related topics.
E. If you dont like the glow, turn it off.

I just think if you reached GWAMM status you should have something unique attached to you. Hell, even if outside an outpost you get the "Fire of the Gods" fire on you, that would be cool.

I think you would be surprised of the amount of people obtained GWAMM on atleast 1 char in the game. I'ts more then just a fraction. By now I assume over half of the players have atleast 1 char with GWAMM or obtained it once on a deleted or banned char. And some people simply don't play the game for titles. They might see this game as a social network and are not jealous or can't do it themself.

i like the idea of that if you put your time into it you should get something like an emote i mean look at Zrank and Fame they both have emotes even though its just one title one can be bought the other can be easily farmed (with the right guild) GWAMM will take alittle while and deserves something for it glowing would be a great idea

I demand a brighter glow than other GWAMMs for getting my title in 2007 before everyone and their moms used consumables to plow through everything (while thinking they deserve something special in return). Thanks Anet.
